The only reservation I have is the fact that basic, essential grammar is not part of the first lessons. For instance, basic conjugations of "to be" or "to have" are not detailed and explained, but simply mentioned during lessons.
This is a problem since the grammar of the Spanish language is different than of the English language.
With this exception, I am content with the quality of the course.
Comprehensive but sometimes doesn't fit my learning style. What i liked, the new role play feature, speaking and the writing practice. What I don't like , the long and often tedious practice sessions (how many times do i have to say "Hola, Amy", especially for the grammer sections which could have more helpful learning examples rather than rote learning phrases. This is especially necessary for difficult topics like object pronouns. Vocab layout is not as good as Duolingo.
The dialogues are good, well explained and generally relevant. Overall its not bad but thinking of switching to an AI style of learning.

Hi Ken, thank you for taking the time to write us a review and leave your feedback. We've made sure to pass your feedback about the repetition to the development team.
The voice of the person speaking in the videos is mad annoying. But besides that the course is not that bad. It's good if you want to learn to write and know how words sound like but the voice recognition don't work at all. Which is the main reason I am giving such a low score, because for how expensive the course is you should be able to learn to speck.

The beginner's course is good. The intermediate course is ok; but, not as good as the beginner's course. The Platinum (advanced course) is poorly done. In the Platinum course, the presentation is sloppy and there is very little interaction or practice time.
I don't like that the woman speaks Spanish with an american accent.
I would like to learn correct pronunciation from natives, not american speaking with accent
I can't give a good review as I just started and already I keep getting nag screens insisting I write a review. This is after buying the entire lifetime package. Since there is no way to "don't ask again" or "wait until later" I have to say this just to stop it.

Rocket Spanish has truly helped me have a better life because my boyfriend is Mexican and we would argue because of not being able to communicate. I'm so happy now and so is my boyfriend, now husband. Thanks rocket Spanish. Pamela Roach
I think that the content is really good and I have enjoyed the level 1 course that I purchased. However, the advertising seems misleading. They promise that you will reach a good conversational level after level 1. However, they do not teach you past tense or future tense. For example, it's pretty hard to have any conversation without learning how to ask "How was your weekend?" or "What did you do yesterday?" Also, after paying, $99 for Level 1, you have to pay an additional $149 for level 2, in which you do start getting into past and future tense (at least you do in the free teaser lesson). If they described the contents of each level better and had a pricing structure that made more sense, I could probably give it a five.

Thanks so much for your review and feedback. Rocket Spanish is a comprehensive course, with a lot of content to cover in order to effectively teach spoken and written Spanish. While we do cover one means of talking about the future in Level 1 (the equivalent of "going to”), more lessons on the future and the past tenses can be found in Level 2, as this fits in with the CEFR level descriptions, since you're only expected to be able to talk about past events and future plans at B1 level. Rocket Spanish Level 1 is equivalent to CEFR levels A1/A2 Rocket Spanish Level 2 is equivalent to CEFR levels A2/B1 Rocket Spanish Level 3 is equivalent to CEFR levels B1/B2 We will email you with a copy of this information, and encourage you to send any questions you might have to our customer support team on [email protected]. All the best with your language learning!
In general Rocket Spanish does a decent job teaching the language. However, it fails to explain the rules and reasoning for the language's grammar, especially when a phrase or sentence contains multiple verbs. Also, so far (into lesson 1 of section 2) there has been no explanation of the Spanish use of the word "lo". I am struggling with the contextual grammar, and I don't think it's really any fault of my own.

Hi Martin - Have you had a chance to check out the Language & Culture lessons? These lessons are all about grammar and take you through how the language works step by step. You can find an explanation on what happens when verbs are used together in a sentence in Lesson 2.8 under the heading "Using Two Verbs in a Row" and an explanation on LO and how it works in Lesson 5.6 under the heading "The Thing About LO"
The app has continuous glitches that the owners are not able to fix. The program is great, but the actual functionality is horrible.

Hi Tyah - Unfortunately there are so many different types of phone, screen sizes, operating systems, etc that it can be hard to get apps working perfectly across the board. If you contact customer support we will try our best to troubleshoot your system.
